RanL fn Civilization.

Last evening B, Troop, of the 9th Tinted States Cavalry, arrived m tblS city eu route from Fort LevIs, Colo. to Washington, ID. c. The troop IS com nosed of forty ulne enlisted men and IS oficered as follcws: Captain Geo. s. Anderson; First Lieut.. Wm Baird; Seoond Lieutenant, Harrington K. Weet. The troop has been stationed at Fort Lewis since 1884. and has been on the Western frontier for many years. In inc ranks are Q number of men who have served in other troops on the from fer. and most of them have been s;s- tIoped at Western posts for more than ten wears. They are all highly pleased st inc change io Washington and are clad to see nJ-.si ling of Eastern city life agsIn. They complain, however, of tbe heat, and suffer 0a "ccount of the sudden change from Ugh to low altitude, the post they have just lefs being nearly 5000 feet above the sea level. The troop has seen a great deal of service and only few days before starting for St. Louis were out on q long scout after some renegade Utes who were stealing cattle. The men have not yet discarded their rough Western fatigue uniforms winch give evidence of hay ing been long exposed tO the weather, and have not abandoned the practice of hsbituslly wearing the typical SIX shooter and bovie-knIfe. The last hard fight in which this company had been engaged WAS on tbe 18th of July. 1884, at which tiue it had a running fight with hostile Utes, lasting from o'clock in the morning until o'clock at night. The men were without food or water during tle whole dsy, and as the wealth CT was excessively hot, they suffered greatly with thirst. Several troopers W, re killed sud wounded during the night, and the Indians. who greatly out numbered the troop. were routed vlth heavy loss. Fort Lewis, where the troop hos been lately stationed, IS twelve mllea from Durango. CoiO,, at which oity the troops took the Denver and Rio Grsnde Railway on last Thursday morning reaching this cIty on yesterday after noon. The troop is transported ID tnree speciel passenger coaches provided for their accommodation. and there are two other cars for the horses. The com pany IS mounted ou magnificent blacks and is what IS known ss the "black Horse Troop" Of the regiment.
 On reaching the oity yesterday the horses were unloeded from the cars al the Pacific stock yards, where they were fed, Eatered and groOmed. The three cars fo. the soldiers were side tracked close to the stock yard, so that the men could be near the animals which, under all circumstances, must be carefully looked after, it being an old established cavalary maxim that a sol dier's first duty IS to his horse, The men remained around the cars during the evening snd very few came dowr to the city. They leave this norning for Washington, and will be stationed at Fort Myer, near this city.

A Swing Instead of a Gravestone.

Not long ago little girl in this city not over 10 years old WAS very ill One day she insisted on seeing her father at once. He was telephoned at his counting room, and on reaching the house the little girl said: Papa, I think am going to die, and want you to do something for me instead of building monument over my grave. What would a monument costF The father tried to dis suade the child from speaking of death, but she persisted until finally he said a moIlu- ment would cost any amount of r-i5ney that might be desired to expend o9it. GWell, V said the child, it would not cost less than s1OO, would itF The father said he thought not, but begged the little one to change the conversation. ~No,' sid she, q want you to promise that if l die you will give the sIcO to build another swing in the park for the little children lPss..ead of building a monument for me The promise was given with tears. The child had been in the habit of walking in the park and had noticed the delight many poor children have in the swings, and the thought had come to her shat might have suggested itself to many of our philsnthropic citizens long ago. It is pleasure to say that the little girl recovered from her illness, and that is the reason, perhaps, why her fathers promise has not been kept.-Albany Journal

Origin of the "squIdge."

Among circus and theatrical people an admission ticket is called a 'squidge,'r said a man at Forepaugbs circus last week. ~Ths origin of this expression goes back many years. Along in the '60s negro boy applied for admission at a circus in one of the south srn towns. He had neither money nor tickets The doortender stopped the lad at the en- trance and told him that be could not get into the tent unless he had money or its equivalent. The poor boy ran crying to his parents, who asked him why he was not at the circus With a sob and face wet with tears the lad blurted out that be couldn't get in until be got some money or 'squidgulum' The man at the tent door was very much amused when the boys tale was told to him, and ever after that a ticket has been known among the boys as a 'squidge' or a 'squidgu- lum '--Chicago Herald

The ap- pesrence and bearing of the nine elder. ly gentlemen who sit in a row upon A raised platform behind @ long desk clothed in their black silk robes; the ab- solute silence enjoined upon sll not hay ing to address the Court, and the sub dued monotones m which the business is transacted. make one feel that here st least are gravity and attention betl,. ting the dignity of a great government.

Notvitbstanding a slight decline ID ,unee bills on Wednesday,, and large absorption of silver from this side, tne nr,ee in London shows considerable tirmness.
 CoPPER.-The copper market has firmer tone, and owIDg either to aDeo- lute scarcity or to confidence ln hlsheI prices later on, which makes producers unwilling to sell, the prIce has sdvano- ed to 10:30c. for spot and lO4Oc- 10 lO:50c. for futures.
 The reports from all sides indicate were hopeful feeling that lO19 and pos sIbly even II cents may be reached oe- fore the close of the season for Lake copper, but notwithstanding this sd- vance here. and thestsct that for export our full home price has 10 be paid, the foreign market is lower, Cbii bars bars to-day being quoted at e39 10sg E39 l2s. Sd. B, s. IS quoted f45 5s. The cause of this decline in Chili bars is said to oe sales on American account. which were erroneously attributed to a belief here m lower prices.
 There were, however. other reasons generally understood in the trade for these reported sales.

A Relic From Abraham Lincoln
(From the Chicago Tnbane.)


 Mir. Charles D. Poston, the lccal agent aud manager of the SaSinsl MIn- ing and Milling Company Of Mexico. has temporarily in his possession rehc of Abraham Lincoln, which IS both sEd reminder of the mArtyred President and a work of art. In 1885 Mir. Poston was the Territorial Delegate in Congress from Arizona, which he recently sided ID organizing into a territory. Aboutthe middle of March, when he was ready to leave Washington. he wished to leave with the President s memen.o of him- self and the new territory. With that Idea n view he secured 400 ounces ot silver from Arizona and sent It to Ilf- fsny ID New York, with an order to make 1t into an ink stand. IL came m due time, and was quietly placed on the Presidents private desk while he was out for drive. The ink-vell wss only used until April If. when the asssssina- tion took place, and when MT. Poston came to Chicago 8 short time ago, never having seen or heard of It sfterward, he called upon Nr. Robert T. Lincoln to learn If it could not be photographed. This disclosed tue fact that 1t had been lying Tn a vault for twenty-two years,  and permission having been willingly accorded, the original doner secured possession of it long enough to have II thoroughly cleaned and photogr phed Some idea of its intrinsic value may be gained when It Is remembered that the 4OO ounces of silver worth Sl25 per ounce when the stand was ordered, and the bill for the work on it was Ss62. ln the center of the stand above the double iDk-wells rises small fac-simile of the dome of the Capitol at Washington, surmounted by the Goddess of Liberty. This litts-of and becomes a silver call bell. This ls fisnksd on one side by n ] finely executed statuette of a Com snche Indian. and on the other side by figure of the same size representing Mr. Pos ton in pioneer costume, with rife n hand. As soon as the pictures are completed the valuable relic will be re turned to Mir. Robert DincOlnis custody.

 Hawaiian king-His Intelligence.
 Ispent an evening in company with Kals. kaua among group of friends, when he was fin this city, the only evening ever crossed legs under the table with king. He quaffed with glee, moderation and dignity. some times through a straw, the fragrant bever- ages that were mixed for his pleasure, and hs mingled the moments with saIlies and good humor that gave Fest to his companionship. venture the remark that he is the most dem- scratic of kings, though, as have said, my acquaintancs with royalty has been limited to himself In the course of the evening found myself alone with him at table, over which blent the smoke of our cigars
 drew out the king as he fell into a thought ful mood and became talkative. A few ques- tions about his country put him at his best in few moments. His discourse was a rsvela- tion and a surprise to me. found him to be . man of many accomplishments and some thing of a savant- His conversation was full of knowledge and intelligence. not only re- garding affairs, but also other matters in the realm of science. He spoke of the natural history of the seven islands over which hs rsigns, land with which he had the familiar ity that could come only through acute ob- servation and study. He spoke of the native race to which be belonged, and interested me especially with an idea which be developed, that tho race was not of Asiatic origin, but | had immigrated or drifted at some unknown period of time from the west coast of Mexico, and belonged, perhaps, to the primitive stock from which sprang the Joltecs or Aztecs. He | pointed out certain varial analogies, traced the relation of certain customs and referred to some traditions among the people of his native isle. He showed, as be proceeded, a remarkable knowledge of ethnology, linguis- tics and customs, and talked like scholar a1 well as 0 gentleman from first to last.
 In short, l found King KalakauA to be moi only a long headed politician, but a man of varied accomplishments So that his notori

 For the past ten years have been us- ing BRASDRETH's PnLs for self and family. We find them a sovereign remedy for indigestion and constipation, taking one or two every night for ten days. They are also admirable blood purifes. perfectly harmless but exceedingly effective as a csthartic. l first used them myself, particularly for biliousness and dyspepsia. They relieved me in two weeks. I chesrfully recommend them.
